Claim. Queen Elizabeth I’s maritime expansion was providential preparation — God training an island Eve-nation to control the oceans so Christian civilization could spread globally — and Britain’s role was inherited intact by Japan via the Meiji reforms.
Elaboration. SMM reads Elizabethan policy theologically: “What did Queen Elizabeth I of England accomplish during her almost fifty-year reign from 1558 to 1603? She developed the oceans. She already knew that she could not conquer the world without attaining hegemony over the oceans. God trained England more than any other nation” (2.1. Britain, the greatest oceanic island nation, 80-242, 1975.10.24). Britain’s island-nation femininity drove the expansion: “the continent represents man, and the island nation represents woman. Don’t the people of the island nation always have a yearning for the continent – just as a woman longs for a man? That explains why England is considered a female nation” (1.2. The reason Israel, Rome, and Britain failed, 81-245, 1975.12.28). Japan then inherits the role mechanically: “Japan is no different from Britain. It is the direct successor to British civilization … Japan completely inherited Britain’s cultural sphere” (2.2. The difference between British civilization and Japanese civilization, 80-14, 1975.10.1).
